Corporate Fitness as a Non-Cash Benefit
Corporate fitness and vouchers are classified as so-called non-cash benefits. In the Probonio portal for employers, this is displayed and managed accordingly.
Since June 2026, corporate fitness can be used directly as a non-cash benefit via Wellpass. This allows employees—if approved by the employer—to choose each month between a voucher or a fitness membership with Wellpass.
Important: The approved amount can be used either for Wellpass or a retailer voucher. A partial split is not possible systemically.

Overview of usage
In the Probonio portal, under Non-cash benefits > Orders > Corporate Fitness, you can see which employees have used or are currently using Wellpass in which month. This is also possible through your Wellpass portal.
Payroll data export
EGYM Wellpass is also integrated into the payroll data export. When corporate fitness is activated, a wage type for corporate fitness must be stored in the payroll data export.
Please check with your accounting department or tax advisor which wage type is used for billing.
EGYM Wellpass in the Flex Budget
If you use the Flex Budget, the configuration basically works the same.
In the Flex Budget, the subsidy model agreed with Wellpass is automatically stored. Any remaining amount can then be used for other benefits (excluding vouchers), so that the legally prescribed non-cash benefit limit is not exceeded.
Example: Flex Budget of €45
The employee can register with Wellpass under the subsidy model for €30 and still has €15 available to use for other benefits.
Billing
Since the contract negotiation is done directly with Wellpass, you will receive the invoices for membership fees directly from Wellpass (at the beginning of the month).
The service fees, however, are billed through Probonio (also at the beginning of the month).
Cancellation
If you want to cancel Wellpass, you must submit the cancellation directly to Wellpass. Cancellation via Probonio is not possible and not valid.
Simply deactivating the benefit does not count as cancellation. Fees will still be charged by Wellpass (e.g., for 3 employees, even if they are not activated).
At the end of each month (around the 25th/26th), you will receive a notification from Wellpass asking you to review your employees.
Important: If an employee cancels their Wellpass membership, this is not automatically updated in our Probonio portal. Therefore, please regularly check whether employees are still with the company and should continue to use the benefit.
More information about EGYM Wellpass x Probonio
- Through Probonio, the amount agreed with Wellpass is stored as a monthly budget for all employees and also counts as a non-cash benefit.
- With Probonio, your employees can flexibly (if stored by you) choose between a Wellpass membership or vouchers, provided deadlines are met. The processing is done entirely through Probonio.
- By selecting corporate fitness through the Probonio app, your employees make a binding decision for this benefit in the following month. For tax and organizational reasons, a subsequent change or withdrawal of the selection is excluded.
- If an employee has already chosen a voucher or activated the non-cash benefit card in the current month, Wellpass cannot be assigned for this month and the existing membership will be deactivated. From the next month, the employee must register again with Wellpass. The contract itself is NOT canceled.
- You can reach Wellpass support at any time via the email address support@egym-wellpass.com.
